The empress on the bed slowly straightened up, her eyes were indifferent and cold, and she said word by word: "I think that at the beginning, as the queen, I forcibly took away the military power of the third prince after His Majesty's death and ascended to the throne, do you hate me when he is not a queen?" ”

With a turn of her eyes, the empress looked at Huang Ying fixedly, and her tone became more and more affirmative: "The throne of the Xia Kingdom on this day was originally their Xia family, but now it is sitting by a woman of mine, but he Xia Jinglong bows down to me and is respectful everywhere. Huang Ying, in the past five years, do you think he has truly obeyed me? ”

"This ......"

Looking at the empress's soft but cold face, Huang Ying was cold, but she had to answer stiffly: "Your Majesty, is you too worried?" The third prince has always been loyal to His Majesty and has never overstepped the bounds. Even the last time His Majesty was assassinated, it was the Third Prince and I ......"

Speaking of this, Huang Ying stopped abruptly and couldn't say any more.

The Empress looked at her with a gloomy expression, her eyes full of doubt and displeasure, as if she would be furious if she said one more word.

There was silence in the hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

After a long time, the empress finally closed her gaze, softened her complexion and said, "Huang Ying, I know you are kind-hearted, and you didn't think about it so much. Although you are faithful to me, there are some people, especially men, whom you do not understand. For the sake of imperial power, fame and fortune, they can forbear, they can deceive, they can bow their heads, we women are weak after all, so we must be more careful. ”

Listening to the empress's more and more gentle words, Huang Ying's guilt became bigger and bigger.

Until now, the empress still trusts her so much, completely unaware that a series of recent events have been manipulated by her behind her back. If she hadn't betrayed and acted according to the instructions of the third prince, how could the empress have accidents one after another?

The Empress was kind to her, but she betrayed her!

It's just because she loves Xia Jinglong, but he sees her as a pawn.

"So, Huang Ying, don't think too simply." The empress's clear eyes returned to their normal color, and she said with a majestic aura: "Go, immediately lead the troops to surround the Three Princes' Mansion, bring the Three Princes Xia Jinglong back for questioning, and torture him severely!" ”

What the? Surround the Three Kings' Mansion?

When Huang Ying heard this, the whole person was stunned.

Do you really want to do it to the man she loves the most and meet each other in battle?

Suddenly, the empress's cold voice sounded in her ears: "What are you still doing in a daze?" You didn't listen to me, did you? ”

Shocked, Huang Ying immediately knelt down and bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen will go now." ”

Out of the dormitory, as soon as the oncoming wind blew, Huang Ying only felt cold.

Surround the Three Princes' Mansion and arrest Xia Jinglong, the man she has loved for ten years! Can she do it, can she do it? What would he say if you saw him with your own eyes? He had planned a big plan for many years, but was it ruined by her?

The pace is getting slower and slower, and Huang Ying can't do anything when he thinks of the bits and pieces he once had with him, and he is gentle and tender.

Before she knew it, she had already walked to the Praetorian Guard guard, and when someone saw that it was her, they immediately saluted: "My lord! ”

Suddenly remembering the empress's order, Huang Ying's expression was straight, and he shouted: "Your Majesty's command, immediately gather five hundred Praetorian Guards, surround the Three Princes' Mansion, and act immediately." ”

"Yes!"

In an instant, with the sound of gold and iron, Huang Ying took five hundred Praetorian Guards and rode out of the palace.

On horseback, Huang Ying's mind still echoed the empress's words: "Arrest Xia Jinglong and torture ......"

How could she bear to let that man suffer such painful torture?

Such a proud and majestic man, the dignified prince of Tianxia Kingdom, the original proud son of heaven, is now about to become a prisoner, and even die. As long as she gives the order, he will die!

Suddenly, Huang Ying's eyes were cold, no!

She loved him so much, how could she let him be ruined in her own hands?

It's all Luo Qingluan's woman! If she hadn't saved the empress, how could there have been so many twists and turns in the follow-up? The empress died, she was willing to fight for the empress and repay her kindness, but when he died, she would not live either.

Before she died, she wanted to kill Luo Qingluan and these outsiders!

Thinking about it, Huang Yingying raised his hand and shouted: "Change the route, go to the hotel!" ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard beside him was a little stunned: "My lord, what's wrong?" Didn't Your Majesty say that you would surround the Three Princes' Mansion, why are you going to the Pavilion now? ”

His face sank, and Huang Ying stared at him and said, "Lord Ben's order, do you listen to it?" ”

"This ......," the Janissary commander was dumbfounded.

"If something happens, Lord Ben is solely responsible!"

In this way, the commander of the Praetorian Guard could only stubbornly say: "Yes, follow the orders of the lord." He waved his hand and ordered: "All reroute, surround the hotel!" ”

A group of Praetorian Guards responded at the same time, and rushed towards the hotel with murderous spirit.

……

Half an hour later, the emperor's dormitory.

Liang Yuyan walked quickly through the palace gate, saw the empress sitting alone on the dragon chair, stepped forward and saluted: "See the emperor!" ”

"Stand down." The empress said to the waiting palace maid, her eyes fell on Liang Yuyan's body, and her voice was slightly deep, "Miss Liang, how is the situation?" ”

"Your Majesty, just now I followed Lord Huang, she did not go to the Three Princes' Mansion as His Majesty ordered, but led the army to the direction of the pavilion where I and my companions were footed." Liang Yuyan told the empress about the whereabouts of Huang Ying after she left the palace.

The empress's pupils shrank, and the hand on the handle suddenly grasped the dragon chair, the green tendons on the back of her hand bulged, and she bowed her head and said nothing.

After a long time, she barely showed a smile, but her eyes were as deep as a deep pool, and she asked softly, "Did she really betray me?" ”

"I have seen everything with my own eyes, and there is no lie." Liang Yuyan resolutely confirmed again and again.

Every firm word of her struck the Empress's heart, and the Empress's face turned pale in an instant, and she murmured, "It's really her! ”

The group walked out from behind the curtain of the dormitory, Luo Qingluan had actually been hiding in the dormitory to observe the situation, she had already expected the outcome of the matter, and was not surprised by Liang Yuyan's words, but when she saw the empress's depressed appearance, she still sighed lightly.

She said quietly: "Often the most trusted person is also the most likely to become an enemy, this is due to the people's heart, Your Majesty does not need to be discouraged by this." ”

"I never thought she betrayed me!" The empress turned to annoyance, her eyes stained with pain, "I regard her as the most trusted person, but I consult with her on all important matters of the court, and order her to lead the loyal ministers of the court, but in the end it is my wishful thinking!" ”

"Someone!" A cold light appeared in her eyes, and she said with determination, "The Yulin Army guards of my destiny will capture Huang Ying back!" ”

Seeing this, Luo Qingluan hurriedly stopped her, and the empress shook off her hand angrily, and shouted with a cross eyebrow: "I want to ask her why she betrayed me!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry." Luo Qingluan softened his voice, "Now the three princes have not found out that we have known that Lord Huang betrayed His Majesty, so we must not startle the snake." Since their next goal is us, they can plan and seize the opportunity to seize the three princes together. ”

"What are you going to do?" The empress completely trusted Luo Qingluan, and seeing that she had a way, she said calmly, "I can help, just ask." ”

Luo Qingluan propped his chin and thought, "Since Xia Jinglong's goal is to catch us first, we might as well let Huang Ying pounce." ”

Huang Ying's action failed, she will definitely come back to find the empress again, and then it will be time for them to fight back! She leaned into the empress's ear and whispered, and the empress suppressed a sad smile on the corner of her mouth, and said indifferently: "This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"I will not let anyone dare to deceive me!" She snorted.

Near the hotel.

Huang Ying led the Praetorian Guards to the door of the hotel where Luo Qingluan and the others were staying, and ordered the leader to surround the entire hotel. The commander of the Praetorian Guard couldn't hold back any longer, he was unmoved, and asked: "The order that my subordinates got was to raid the Three Princes' Mansion, why did Lord Huang come here, could it be that the Three Princes are here?" ”

Huang Ying looked angry, picked up the empress's jade pendant and held it in front of him, and said coldly: "Seeing Peiru seeing His Majesty coming, do you mean that I disobeyed the holy decree?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare!" The commander bowed his head and replied, waving his hand to the Praetorian Guards behind him, and the Praetorian Guards swarmed up and quickly surrounded the pavilion.

Huang Ying learned about the residence of Luo Qingluan and his party from the owner of the museum, and broke into the door, but there was no one in the house. She frowned fiercely, looked coldly at the trembling pavilion owner on the side, and asked sharply, "Say!" Where did the people who lived here go? ”

"The little one really doesn't know!" The owner had never seen such a scene, and fell to the ground softly, "They went out early in the morning." ”

Huang Yingli glanced at the hall master, pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed at him, and said, "If you dare not tell the truth, I will cut your tongue!" ”

The owner kept kowtowing to her and begging for mercy, stammering: "I beg the adults to have a lot, spare the small ones this time!" ”

"Forgive me and don't dare to lie to me!" Huang Ying didn't see that he was lying, and threw his sword to the ground, and the sword made a buzzing sound.

She looked down at the silent pavilion and shouted to the Praetorian Guards present: "Search! Find out all the rebels and thieves! ”

The Praetorian Guards were ordered to look for Luo Qingluan and the others from room to room, Huang Ying sat on a chair and waited, for some reason, his heart became more and more anxious.

She shook her head irritably, trying to shake off the unsettling thoughts in her mind, and when she saw the commander walking towards her with a cold and stiff face, a wave of anger suddenly welled up in her heart, and she asked, "Still haven't you found them?" ”

"Lord Hui, my subordinates have searched the entire hotel, but they haven't found them." The leader didn't dare to look directly at her sharp gaze.

"What a bunch of rubbish!" Huang Yingteng stood up and walked out, grabbed the shopkeeper who was kneeling at the door, and said fiercely, "I'll give you one last chance, if you don't tell their whereabouts again, I'll let you die now!" ”

The owner of the hall panicked and babbled nonsense, but Huang Ying still didn't get any useful news.

She threw him to the ground like garbage, straightened up, and walked to the first floor, looking at everyone, but finding nothing out of the ordinary. There was a wave of doubt in her heart. Could it be that they got the news in advance, so they would leave early before she came?

No, it can't be! This matter is a secret between her and Xia Jinglong, even the empress believes her words, they have no way of knowing!

Huang Ying paced back and forth, thinking deeper. Now what she is worried about is not that Luo Qingluan and the others will escape when they hear the news, but that she will not be able to complete the task, and the third prince will be furious. She didn't dare to imagine what Xia Jinglong would do with her, she had to find a way, she couldn't lose the third prince!

"Send an elite army to guard here, and the rest of the people search for them in the capital! Notify me as soon as there is news! ”

But in half a day, they can't run far! She thought about it for a while, and warned the leader: "This matter must not be disclosed to anyone. ”

She sent the Praetorian Guards, came to the door of the Three Princes' Mansion with a suspicious and uneasy heart, hesitated into Xia Jinglong's study, and saw Xia Jinglong's slender figure with his back to her, his face turned red, he knelt down on one knee, and said worriedly: "My subordinates see the Three Princes!" ”

Xia Jinglong looked at the books on the bookshelf and said casually: "How did the king ask you to do it?" ”
